Is cheating always wrong?
Find answers to your legal question.





Is cheating always wrong?

I know the instant answer will be yes... but what about people who are happy in their marriage but then meet someone that makes them feel different, happy, and things they don't feel for their spouse even if they aren't miserable at home? if it makes you happy is it really that bad?

The grass is always greener. Of course, it's possible to meet someone who makes you feel "different" and amazing. Hello, that's what passion, lust, and infatuation are all about! When you first begin dating/seeing someone, it's all beautiful and exciting. So, it's easy to get mixed up after being in a marriage for a while. Marriage is alot harder than "dating", because you're learning to join your lives together as one.

There's always going to be moments when you're less than enthused about your partner. Do you honestly think cheating is going to make it any better? What's the outcome of it? Is it just a moment of fun, or does it lead onto actually leaving your spouse? These are questions you have to ask yourself. And do you lack that much respect for your partner that you'd hurt and betray them like that?

I think some people tend to live in the moment. Well, when you're married...You can't just live in the moment. You're not single; not unattached.

You have responsibilities towards your spouse and YOU owe them more than that. People are always going to disappoint each other. Marriage is no exception from that, but cheating is a CHOICE. Not an accident, or a forced event.

When things get difficult, is it okay to always give up? Is it worth it? And would being with this other person be any different or better? Probably not. Because even the most passionate, connecting relationships grow stale. Love is work, lust is fleeting.

YES. be a real man and desolve the marriage or the outside woman. you are only thinking about youself. what about your wife, or the outside woman. trust me neither one is happy with YOU !!!!!

If you're married and exchanged wedding vows you're in a committed relationship and shouldn't be looking elsewhere. If you're unhappy in a relationship, but you're not married, you should get out of the relationship and move on. Good Luck!

CHEATING IS WRONG.

Yes, it's still selfish and a devastating thing to do to your spouse. How in any way shape or form can it be ok just because YOU are happy?
Cheating isn't wrong because of how it makes YOU feel, it's because of how your partner will feel when they find out.
What is the point in being in a monogamous relationship if you prefer to be greedy and shag about?
I'm sorry but excuses are just excuses, just a way to try and justify how cheating really is a horrible thing to do.


Im just answering your question!
You shouldnt need to cheat if you are truly in love with the person you are with.


Sandy Ego
What's right and wrong is decided by people, it's subjective.

If you have to ask you know its wrong...and when one is married and meets someone " that makes "them feel good" its called LUST...If one is truely happy and nothing is wrong at home so they say... they wouldnt be thinking about cheating... It might make you happy in the long run but it will come back to haunt you eventually... Why cant people take their vows serious anymore???

Yes, cheating is always wrong. People should take their marriage vows seriously.


Mallory
Its ABSOLUTELY wrong!


VillageGirl
Of course it's really that bad. Did you notice in your question there wasn't a single mention of the other person in your relationship? It was only if you are happy, if you can find happiness that is different elsewhere...

Honestly I don't understand that mindset. There's no thought for the other person in your relationship/marriage. It's a very selfish, self-serving love that you have.

there are always other options to any situation besides cheating.


dcnewco
Regardless of the situation, cheating is wrong. When you married you took vows. If you can not live by those vows you should not be married.

Once you cheat you have broken your vows. Cheating is a very selfish act.

Yes it is always wrong, even if it makes you believe that you are happy. It's hurtful, and eventually you will get caught.

Cheating is cheating no matter what and it is always wrong and someone always ends up getting hurt.

Apparently they are NOT happy in their marriage or with their spouse if their cheating...Happily married people dont cheat.


I need to bust my L on her Ts.
you shouldnt be married to begin with


Joy
Just because it makes you happy doesn't make it right. How would your spouse feel if he found out you were cheating on him? I'm guessing he'd be very, VERY hurt and upset... which is where the wrong part comes in. If you're hurting someone else, then it's not okay. And honestly, if you were really as happy in your marriage as you say, you wouldn't WANT to cheat. He would be enough.


Charlie H.
Yes, because as soon as you go behind your spouse's back it becomes a lie and wrong. If you find someone else, then you should talk to your spouse and get a divorce.


manningchick76
If you are happy in your marriage already and there is nothing wrong at home, why would you even consider cheating?

Cheating is never Right by the way!

will it be wrong if someone cheat on you, if yes then, cheating is always wrong and if no then you must be a toy and not human.

As long as you dont do anything with them.. and if you do wanna leave your 80% person for a 20% person, please just be up front with your spouse before doing anything. Trust me, things will be so much easier. If you were in their shoes, wouldnt you rather them be up front and tell you whats going on instead of lying?


Rainmaker87
Cheating is wrong no matter for what reason, hun. The two people promised themselves to each other and that is the way it should stay as long as their is no abused or neglect, but then divorce should happen before either one goes with a different person. My marriage isn't the best, trust me, but just because I'm not very happy all the time doesn't mean my eyes are wandering to other potentional men to be with. There is no way I could ever cheat on my husband. I've actually had 2 chances where I could have and definetly didn't want nor had the heart to go through with either (both guys got mad at me for not going through with it (long story of how both started)), and my husband knows about both times and completely trusts me because I was honest and told him. So I do suggest never to cheat. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

yes. you should dissolve what you have with your lover at home first and than if you want to be with the other than go for it but you can't have both.

cheating is wrong if it hurts someone else. But it is a moral issue, your entitled to do what makes you happy if that is what you want.
